In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Organization XIII's heart collection process was greatly elaborated. While on several missions to various worlds, Nobodies of the Organization would seek out as many Emblem Heartless as possible, obtaining a captive heart from those they defeated. The captive hearts would then be absorbed by Kingdom Hearts, more specifically, [[Xemnas | Xemnas's]] synthetic incarnation of the world, immediately afterwards. Organization XIII completely ignored Pureblood Heartless, as they lacked the hearts they sought. The heart collection field was strictly where Xemnas found a use for [[Roxas]], Sora's Nobody being the only one amongst their ranks able to actually release hearts, as he wielded the Keyblade (any other Organization member simply caused a Heartless to fade back into darkness when it was defeated, without the released heart side-effect). [[Xion]] also possessed this power, as she was Sora, and to a lesser extent, Roxas's replica. While Xemnas planned on having Xion absorb Roxas so he could have the full power of Sora's Keyblade in the end, he desperately wished to reclaim Roxas after Xion was defeated when Sora's Nobody fled the Organization. He did not count on Roxas being captured by Riku in the Nobody's attempt to free Kingdom Hearts so he could revitalize Xion. This forced Xemnas to use Sora himself as an alternative. | In ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', Organization XIII's heart collection process was greatly elaborated.

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Organization XIII switched tactics and used Sora for heart collection, because no surviving member was able to collect hearts after Roxas was absorbed by Sora. Sora remained unaware of his role in Xemnas's plan, sending captive hearts to Kingdom Hearts as he saved each world from the Heartless threat. When [[Saïx]] revealed this role to the Keyblade master, however, Sora became wary of defeating Heartless, as he did not wish to aid his enemies, the Organization. He had no choice, however, eventually reaching [[The World That Never Was]], Organization XIII's stronghold. When [[Mickey Mouse | King Mickey]] met up with Ansem the Wise, the elderly scholar attempted to encode Kingdom Hearts as data with a special device, the [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]]. He realized, upon the machine's self-destruction, that hearts couldn't be encoded as data, destroying Xemnas's synthetic Kingdom Hearts and releasing every heart it held inside before not only his death, but the final battle in Kingdom Hearts itself between Sora and the Organization's Superior. | In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Organization XIII switched tactics and used Sora for heart collection, because no surviving member was able to collect hearts after Roxas was absorbed by Sora.

It is unknown what became of hearts released in ''Kingdom Hearts''. While Organization XIII did exist, they did not collect hearts until Roxas's birth, after the events of Hollow Bastion, and after he trained with the Organization members featured in ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''. It is most logical that these hearts went back to their bodies and returned to their original form. | It is unknown what became of hearts released in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
